4-COLORA BUILT-IN FAN BASE: The Subpar Parks instagram account is up to nearly 365k followers, and publicity for the book included a feature in USA Today, an interview on WBUR’s Here and Now, and a starred review from Bookpage.
NATIONAL PARKS VISITORS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH: According to the National Parks Service (NPS) more than 327 million people visited NPS sites in 2019, a 2.9% increase from 2018, and the third-highest number since record keeping began in 1904. There has never been more interest in our public lands and outdoor adventures.
ROAD TRIPS AND PARK VISITS ARE THE FUTURE OF TRAVEL: The Covid-19 pandemic brought vacations to a standstill in early 2020. According to CNBC and trend forecasters, travel recovery typically begins locally, so road trips to national parks and other outdoor attractions are expected to be the new normal for the foreseeable future.
EXCLUSIVE CONTENT: Several postcards will be all-new illustrations that have never been in print before.
